A wonderful story well read

Perfect for the long road trip from Missouri to Alberta. Kids looked up places from the story in the atlas as we traveled. And the reading was clear and well done.

excellent story but chapters do not match book

loved this story and the reader was a perfect match for the telling. but the chapter numbers do not match the paper book making it very difficult to switch from audible to a paper book and vice versa. this has been a consistent problem in other audible books as well.

Best book ever come and read🤩

This book is my favorite book ever there it is just enough Violence and adventure this book would not have been good if it was modern day 2018 materiel I would just out of the open want to read it. It tells you what life was back then and is just so good and is very educational for people into working hard and sweating hard and makes me want to go
Get a job right now even though I’m only 13
This my grade for the book A++++++++++++++++...

Character development for boys.

Like Little House on the Prairie for boys, Little Britches, is a heartwarming story of Ralph Moody coming of age.

Beautiful story

Riveting tale that my 5 year son enjoyed immensely. (We had read it aloud as a family and was glad to discover it was on audible for an easy listening to during coloring time!) We will most likely do the rest of the series.

That was different

This was a very nice but sad story... I do suggest you read this and maybe even consider reading the rest of the books as well. I loved the narration,the story and the caricatures I only have one complaint it is that there was a lot of cussing but this was a true story so I guess I shouldn't complain about it.... well I hope you listen to this story and enjoy it!!! 👋🏻👍🏻😉😆🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓

Well done!

Great, wholesome true story, full of hard work ethic. Enough grit, adventure and boy shenanigans to capture my 13 year old mixed with excellent wisdom without feeling preachy to really make me sit back and take note. Enjoyable.

Love this so much!!!!

This book has such great morals, an amazing father figure, and such a wonderful and meaningful story. There have been some reviews complaining about swearing, there is a small amount of swearing, but nothing other than a couple of grown ranchers saying the D word a few times. This is a wonderful experience and I highly suggest this book to all the little girls and boys over eight. Cameron B. Did an amazing job narrating this story. This is the boy version of the little house on the prairie books, and I enjoyed this even more than them.

This book has always been a favorite of mine

The audible version was well done and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. I look forward to listening to the next one.
